RE: Dispensing with Dispensers
Howdy Joel and Pix,
I couldn’t help but notice in the last snapshot there were a number of dispenser changes that allow shears in a dispenser to be used on a number of entities, but there is one feature I have wanted since dispensers have been able to shear sheep, and that is the ability to shear vines, thus making automatic vine farms possible.
Is there any reason that Mojang should not or will not add this feature to the game? Or is this just another case of Mojang not adding in what seems to be an easy feature that would have broad support.
(I’ve grown tired of asking for concrete slabs/stairs)
Thanks for the amazing podcast and the content you both create!
